It was super tough.” Translation: It was awesome. Why the bathing suits? Says Stallsmith, “Those were members of the Loyola Marymount swim team, home from spring break.

May is in the CrossFit AllStar Kids program at Waimea’s CrossFit gym, and thought up a plan for kids to gather sponsors for a “Michael Mo Workout.”
